Sensei Jekyll Shacho Hyde ATS#enStrange Case of Principal Jekyll & MD Hyde

by Jeremy Chance

“Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” is a book published in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson whose main character fluctuates between good and evil. Dr Jekyll is kind, honest, gentle and respectful of others. Mr Hyde is more like President Trump: self-centred, spiteful, rude, mocking others and careless with other peoples’ lives and feelings.

Posture & Mental Stress

by Jeremy Chance

She was riding her bicycle and complaining about her arms.

After about 10 minutes of riding, her arms began to ache badly. She was having a session with me at BodyChance. At that time, we had a bicycle in the studio, so she got on it, grabbed the bar handles and showed me how she rode the bike.

Almost Fainting in Nagoya - Can You Ever Get ill?

by Jeremy Chance

When you run your own business, it's hard to get ill.

I can't remember cancelling a class at BodyChance because I was suddenly sick. I did have a couple of hospital visits over the 20 years, but never wake up in the morning and cancel kind-of-sick.

The worst time I ever had was in Nagoya.

Grace Lays Down the Digital Law

by Jeremy Chance

My youngest daughter Grace – when she was 14 – was chatting with me about her future.

Telling me how much she loves YouTube, and maybe she wants to become a “YouTuber”. YouTubers are famous in her world – Vegans, Yoginis, Gay boys: teenage voyagers coming of age in the digital spotlight. Like my daughter.

I don’t know why, but suddenly I asked her:

“How do you for search things?”

YouTube of course.

“No” – I said, thinking she didn’t understand my question – “I mean, when your wanting to find out information?”

YouTube – have you got ears?

How Not to be Happy & Clear

by Jeremy Chance

I woke up this morning and read a long sales letter from Megan Macedo.

I got depressed - thinking: "I am not doing that. I am not good. I should be better."

I started to wonder if my whole life was a mistake - if what I am doing is the right thing for me? That got me thinking about the things I love.

Intelligent Pain Relief - BodyThinking Style

by Jeremy Chance

Years ago, I had a student who was a Manager of a Post Office in Japan.

He suffered from severe back pain, and his doctors advised he have a lumbar laminectomy to relieve his pain. It involves surgically removing some bone from his spine.

No-one likes a part of their body being removed.
